She was kind of stuck in limbo with her situation before I called you. Now she has some cash in the bank, one monthly payment with everything included, and you even saved her money. And as a long time retiree on a fixed income, that is HUGE. Add to it, she has the Cornerstone app on her tablet and bank account linked and she's all set to make her first payment! Easy Peasy! You are the greatest and I appreciate all the umpteen times you have handled things for me in the past with my own mortgage. You and the entire team are truly a pleasure to deal with, and I can't recommend you enough.

Getting a loan is more complex than buying a loaf of bread. It's more than financials. You need…read moreservice -- knowledge and availability. Austin's team was there to help me pull my financials, to identify which credit bureau hadn't released our credit freeze, knew about FAIR homeowners insurance, and helped get the correct format of the account wire histories required by the underwriter. We had a short 10-day contingency window for our escrow, to improve the odds that our offer would be accepted. We were willing to do it without a loan, but it would have been bad financially. My financial advisor was pushing hard for me to get a loan with a large lender, so I applied with them too. But they didn't care about my 10-day window. They didn't tell me about my credit freeze, probably because they hadn't run my credit yet. Turnaround for answering my emailed questions about early payoff and ARM timeline was two days. They must have bigger deals to attend to than a homeowner loan. Go with a local person who cares.

We cannot recommend Michele highly enough! From the purchase of our very first condo to its…read moreeventual sale and the recent purchase of our first house, she was with us every step of the way--and truly went above and beyond in every possible sense. She helped us deal with a complicated insurance issue and was very responsive the entire time. Michele and her colleagues took the time to walk us through every step of the mortgage process, explained all our options clearly, and always made sure we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions. Thanks to Michele, we are now closing on our first home--and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly committed to your success, pick Michele!

We reached out to Michele many months ago to get prequalified. In this crazy market, this was just…read morethe first step to get "seen" by any seller, of course. Because things were so competitive, it took us a long time to find something that was the right fit and in our budget. (Michele helped us know exactly what our budget was.) When we finally decided to put an offer in, I called Michele and asked her how long it would take her to get her letter in for us. She had it to our real estate agent the next morning ready to go! When our offer was accepted, she helped us figure out how to maximize our loan and gave us very clear and well-explained options for moving forward. She was readily available to speak to whenever we needed- even in the evening because of our crazy work and kid schedules! I would highly recommend Michele for your loan endeavor!

I've used Joel three times, a refinance of our condo, a purchase of our single family home in Santa…read moreBarbara, and just recently a refinance of that home as rates dropped. The first two times I used him were at his old company McAdams, but just recently I used him with Priority. He is just getting better and better at navigating all of these mortgage rules and forms that keep piling up. He has something like 30+ years of experience, so he knows what he is doing. When Joel switched to Priority I had a hard time finding him and actually contacted Union Bank and a lender on Zillow. Union Bank wanted $500 up-front to start the application, it would get absorbed into the escrow if I was approved, but there was no guarantee I would be approved. The Zillow place was typical Zillow, quote a rate that is .25% lower than elsewhere, but when you actually apply find out that rate was for totally vanilla situations. If you have anything not vanilla such as a Schedule C business and deductions, suddenly they realize you aren't a slam dunk and either drop you or raise your rate. With Joel I know he isn't going to get started on something unless he knows he can see it through at the rate and fees he told you to begin with. I like a no-fee re-fi and he has delivered on that both times, even if he had to eat a bit out of his pocket to make it happen. He is the most pro-active broker I have used, and I've talked to close to a dozen in the last 8 years. The dude knows his stuff and I'm happy to have him on my side the next time we need him.
